Check the archives of wine-devel. There was a rather lengthy discussion of
this problem and what may be required to fix it. Perhaps the DFly team would
be amenable to the changes. :)
Quoting a message from John Birrel on this thread:

It was determined that wine should not be changed at that it would likely be
better to change FreeBSD's mmap address allocation algorithm. The thread is
called "Wine on FreeBSD current".
